Raccoons chewed through the wires of an Airbus aircraft at a factory in Canada and stopped its operation.

In Canada, a family of six raccoons entered the assembly line of an Airbus A220 aircraft near the city of Montreal and managed to chew through the wires of the aircraft before they were discovered and caught by factory workers. This was announced on June 3 by the Paddle Your Own Kanoo (PYOK) portal.

It is unknown how long the animals were at the factory. Their presence was discovered when employees noticed a female raccoon climbing onto the landing gear of an aircraft manufactured for a major airline in the European Union (EU).

"Production had to be stopped as a frantic search for other members of her family began. In the end, five cubs were found and removed from the factory along with their mother," the newspaper notes.

After that, a team of engineers and workers was called in to make sure that the aircraft was not seriously damaged. According to the source, it turned out that the raccoons had chewed through the wires and set up a toilet inside the Airbus cabin.

On the same day, it was reported that in Thailand, in Pakchong province, an elephant entered one of the local shops, chewed on crackers, and then left. The footage, which appeared in the media, shows how the animal in the store eats food from the shelf. It is noted that a male named Plai Biang Lek has repeatedly raided grocery stores in the city. The store where the elephant was spotted is located next to a national park, from which wild animals often escape.
